An Opinion ON Dakota.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The work of
Hon: L. +. Mcclure as commissioner of
immigration for Dakota is boundless. as
it is beneficial. The following from the
Evening Star shows that one of his most
recent endeavOrs has struck home:
The impressive showing of Dakota's re.
sources, made in the recently published re-
port OF the governor OF the territory, is sup
tratlon, issued by the commissioner of immi-
grafton, which pictures Dakota as unrolling
before the admiring eyes of Uncle Sam the
record OF her resources, while Liberty com
pletes the half-6nished work of inscribing
the name Dakota upon a roll of the states of
the Union, which shows their comparative
resources and fills the background of the
Illustration. In area, population, miles of
raiIroad, number of postofhces and newspa-
per pehrs, & expenditures for the support of public
schools, grain production and other signifi-
cant items Dakota is shown to rank high
among the states.

A DAKOTA EDITOR.

This gentleman conducts one of the
leading weekly papers of the territory.
and he is recognized as one of the sue
ceSSful journalists in the great army of
Dakota newspaper boomers. He was
born in Warren county, Indiana, March
6, 1851: removed to Boone county, Iowa.
i'll the autumn of 1858, and there grew
to young manhood on farm, and began
teaching school in 1868, which was con-
tinued at intervals till the spring of
1880. He was student of the Iowa
State university, and also Iowa State
Agricultural college, graduating from
the latter Institution in 1879 with third
honors in class of twenty-one: was
editor of the college paper the last
two years of the course; entered
the Upton QO9 Advertiser Office in the
spring of 1880, and served wear. He
came to the Red River valley in March,
1881, working brief time as compost
tor on the CroOkStOn Chronicle. and
almost yeear in various capacities on
the Grand Forks Herald. He founded
the Larim0re Pioneer in February.
1882, and has controlled it ever since.
He is also interested in farming. He
was brought up under Democratic infiu-
ence and example, he says, but, on ac-
count of natural perversity, has been
staunch Republican from earliest in
fancy. He declares his belief in the
division of Dakota; prohibition, where
ever it can be enforced; civil service re-
form; woman suffrage: a protective
tariff for home industries, and various
other "heresies," and says if further
accounts are desired detective should
be sent to Central Iowa.

to Advertise Dakota.
Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Oct. 2S.-Many novel plans
have been used to advertise Dakota and
her vast resources, but Commissioner
of Immigration Mcclure has Just issued
one of the neatest advertising designs
yet seen by your correspondent. 1t is a
beautifully cOlOred photographic hanger,
upon which Dakota represented as a
handsome woman holding an unfold ed
scroll in her hands, so that Uncle Sam
can gaze upon it and read the fefmida-
BILE array of statistics there presented.
Uncle Sam is seated in big arm chair,
adjusting his SpectacleS on his nose,
and seems to be aStonlShed as
he gaZes with wonder and amazement
upon these statistics displayed by the
young aspirant for place upon the
wall: Area, 150,932 square miles; miles
of railroad, 4,240: number of postOffices,
1,O39; newspapers, 352; expended for
public schools in 1886, 81, ,917,25S: funded
debt, s56S, 700; cash on hand, S2S2, ,SS2:
wheat crop of 1856, 80, 7O4 900; assessed
valuation, S157, ,0S4, ,3G5; value of farm
products, 1885, S32, ,430,S16; corn crop,
1886, 1885, 900; live stock, S43, 49,, ,229;
number of public schools, $500; mum
Der of teachers, 5,055; banking capital
S10,OOO,0OO.
In the background of the picture is
roll of the states. with statistics, etc.,
showing Texas to be the largest in area
and Rhode Island the smallest, and the
Goddess of Liberty, dressed up in the
stars and stripes, is standing behind her
uncle with pen in hand in the act of
writing down Dakota as one of the
states, which she has over half written
and heSitating for the word to be said
to finish. An eagle is standing at the
feet of Uncle Sam, spreading his wings
as if ready to flap them jOyfully over
Dakota's admission to the union of
states.
The design is a very pretty one, in
deed, and it is the intention of Mr.. Nc
Clure to have thousands of the cards
placed in conspicuous places through
out the East, where they will do Dakota
vast amount of good.

pay one twenty-fifth of the taxes when
they own one-third of the property,
while the farmers, owning only one
half of the property, pay fOur-fifths of
the taxes? Gov. Pierce, this is a hard
question for you to answer. 1t is a state

responsible for, and that is reason
enough why you do not care to explain

thing of mystery, yet, Judging from
all signs, he thinks that 1 am no other
than Gov. Church himself. He comes
to this conclusion for several reasons.
He thinks that the style of writing and
the matter contained in the cor

at this, 'governor," but you are a little
bit prejudiced as to the latter reason.
We are free to confess that we have laid
bare few ''little schemes of "Govoner"
Pierce's, that one SO high in authority
as Gov. Church could only presume to
know. And we are frank to say that
these points did not originate with us,
but were procured in the regular way:
and some of the information came from
Gov. Church directly when we have
met him at places. As to the first, that
is out of the question. Take everything
into consideration, 1 don't believe
Gov. Pierce is as good guesser
as Editor Bowen, but they are a good

Southern Girls Tongues.
Macon Telegraph,


 "It is fact that young ladies in the various communities have many way of handling their tongues, and in some instances unanimity makes a certain movement, if not co loci, at least characteristic. People who have sat next to Wesleyan College girls at a musicale will bear witness to the fact that their tongue movement is never in extension, but vibratory, like the concert of grenadier blackbirds late in the fall. On the other hand, the Atlanta girl talks fast, and as she gasps for breath in the periods where she fears interruption, thrusts her tongue out to it's full length and be- gins the next sentence with and, which is thrown in as a claim upon your attention. The dear little Sa- vannah girl rattles away like infantry in pitched battle, and intersperses her conversation with laughter, dur ing which she throws her head back ward as if to have her tonsils exam ined, and lets the musical member sag in its socket. The girls of Augusta and Albany are very much alike in many things; among others, in the way they conceal their tongues. They smile and converse gently, and the ripple of their laughter is like the sound of brook running on pebbles hid under ferns and clinging willows, but not glimpse of woman's weapon do they permit. The Augusta and Albany girls marry very young.
 "'The Macon girl chews gum and gives brief exhibitions of the pink end of her dainty tongue. The member is worn in the shape of French roll while she masticates the unresisting but indestruetible quid, and as she labors thus, concentric semi-cireles in- close her mouth like brackets around an interpolation, and sne is for the time being voiceless, for the 'gulick, guiick, guiick' that IS noI iie so the esir is not voice note, but merely suction caused by the teeth entering and leav- ing the chewing gum.

The Last UlaD.

The light was well spent, and dark ness was near, when the enemy's at tacks ceased on that part of the Feder- al line at Chickamauga which was held by the troops under Thomas, on the second day. Between the left of these forces and that remainder of the army which had not left the field, lay long stretch of forest, etiectually cutting off the view be- tween the two points. Just at dusk there was borne across this forest a sound of rapid musketry, but this was soon over, and then followed pro- longed cheering. It was clear to those with Thomas that the cheers came srom Confederates, and signified a capture of m.re or less importance. The incident served, in connection with what followed, to cast deeper gloom over the exhausted soldiers.
 That which followed was an order to withdraw from the field in retreat to Chattanooga. The left of Thomas line rested upon ridge, the end of which was covered with standing corn. At the foot of the ridge, to the
 left, was fence, and beyond this, the forest already mentioned. A line of Federal skirmishers was posted along the fence, and the orders were for this line to remain until the troops were we'll off the ridge in their re- treat, and theni to quietly withdraw and make the best of their way to re- join the column. The skirmish line was composed ot a single regiment, and captain was in command, all
 the field officers having fallen in the two days fighting. The captain, a straight and soldierly fellow, with bright brown hair and beard closely cut, was waiting with what patience he could command until his time came to retreat. 1t was an uncertain ser vice at best, this staying behind in skirmish line while the army marched away. So thought the captain, evil dently, as he moved uneasfly . few paces back and forth behiud his men. There was something else to trouble
